Pole barn builder in Washington County, Oregon.

Oregon · County seat: Hillsboro

Washington County is denser and more suburban than the counties south of Portland, which shifts the building mix toward shops, garages, and commercial pole buildings rather than large-scale ag. We regularly work Hillsboro, Sherwood, and the suburban-fringe parcels around Forest Grove. Permitting tends to be more formal here than in the rural counties, but the county office is responsive.

Permitting in Washington County

Oregon recognizes the agricultural exemption for qualifying parcels in agricultural use, which can take a building straight past a structural permit. Anything residential, commercial, or non-ag in use needs a county-permitted, engineer-stamped build. We walk through which path applies during the project review and prepare the full plan set — including engineer-stamped drawings where required — for you to submit to the county.
